Nope! You’re not crazy! Yep! You’ve seen this buffet! Just two weeks ago I shared with you a much brighter version with gingham checks.

I am a furniture artist. But before I could call myself that……I was simply an artist. I sat my visions and dreams aside while doing life……..as so many mothers do.

They offer a patina kit….and I […]

I can’t even believe how cute this old military trunk/foot locker turned out! Honestly…..when my client dropped it off…..I wondered how in the world I was going to turn something so boring and boxy and primitive into something that a seven year old little girl would be proud of!?!? Wait until you see the “before” […]

When you are known by everyone as a painter…..they ask you to paint everything!! Does this happen to you? I am ESPECIALLY asked to personalize items….and to make boring factory object more interesting! This brings me to laminate furniture (think Ikea) and other items (think from Amazon in a box). * This post may contain […]
